I have been using android studio from the moment it came out,It has been considerably slow while building when doing large projects..
I have been running it on a windows PC [windows 7 Home Basic] with 4 gb ram and core i5 processor
I have been thinking of migrating to a Linux OS lately [Elementary OS in mind]
And i just really want to know whether Android studio is faster on a Linux machine or a windows machine

Linux performs better for Android Studio than Windows. Android Studio needs at least 8 GB RAM to run better. Change your Hard Disk to SSD. Loading/Compiling/Designing/Writing time will be reduced even in 4GB RAM.
The experience is identical on all three operating systems, because Android Studio is platform-agnostic. It's a bog-standard JetBrains IDE written in Java. Nothing changes. There are others who claim that Linux is better because it is less resource-intensive.
1 Answer. It is possible you would have faster performance on a Linux OS, but that would most likely be due to less processes operating simultaneously on your OS.
But it is even also heavy software which will suck your computer's ram. If your pc is not having a high configuration you can't run other applications like Google Chrome when your android studio is running. If you try to do so then your pc will start hanging. In this article, we will try our best to solve this problem.
It is possible you would have faster performance on a Linux OS, but that would most likely be due to less processes operating simultaneously on your OS. If you have File indexing turned on under Windows, or antivirus software, they could degrade your overall build speed. Perhaps try optimizing your current configuration before migrating to a new OS that could introduce a host of new issues.
